Emily Bishop...

Coming upon Emily Bishop's design work on the deck and patio at the design house was timely. After touring the entire home, my friends and I convened on the lovely outdoor furniture by Brown Jordan. At which time we had the opportunity to meet Ms. Bishop herself and take in all the scenery while we absorbed the restfulness of the setting.

To see a home with numerous outdoor living spaces was quite amazing. The designers involved in these spaces created havens that would make you forget you are located just off Connecticut Avenue.

To me, that is what a haven is all about. Living on the inside, temporarily forgetting what's nearby. It's a nice escape.

My current blog banner features a bottle of 2005 Octagon Virginia Historic Red by Barboursville Vineyards in Virginia. They reproduced the floor plan of the Governor James Barbour mansion, designed by Thomas Jefferson.

I am passionate about all things design & interior-related and am always fine-tuning our home. Magazines, design books, blogs and social media are a means to which I attempt to fulfill my desire for creating and nesting.
In no way do I intend to misrepresent anyone and/or businesses that deserve recognition featured on my personal blog.
May you enjoy this journey along with me as I discover what makes my world-go-round.
